The LvlUp Innovation Alliance

The network is not
the advantage.
Alignment is.

The LvlUp Innovation Alliance connects investment firms, corporations, institutions, and strategic leaders directly to the LvlUp pipeline—creating more ways for exceptional companies to secure investment, launch pilots, form partnerships, and pursue strategic growth.

The alliance model

An alliance —
not a directory.

The strongest alliances connect distinct organizations around shared opportunities and make it easier for the right participants to move together.

When a company applies to LvlUp, we can evaluate not only whether it fits one of our funds, but whether it may be relevant to aligned investment partners, corporate partners, or other members of the Alliance.

How it works

One application. A broader opportunity set.

A connected path between promising companies and the organizations capable of helping them grow.

Companies apply through LvlUp

A single application gives our team a clear view of the company, its capital requirements, and its strategic priorities.

We identify alignment

LvlUp evaluates fit across our funds and, where appropriate, identifies relevant opportunities across the Alliance and LP network.

Partners engage

Aligned partners may invest, co-invest, explore a pilot, establish a commercial partnership, or begin a broader strategic conversation.

Strategic pathways

More ways to move a company forward.

The Alliance creates multiple routes from introduction to action—across capital, commercial relationships, market access, and strategic growth.

1

Direct Investment

Alliance investment partners can evaluate relevant companies for independent investment directly from the LvlUp pipeline.

2

Co-Investment

Partners may participate alongside LvlUp when a company aligns with their investment mandate and strategic interests.

3

Corporate Pilots

Companies can be introduced to corporate partners interested in testing, validating, or deploying relevant solutions.

4

Commercial Partnerships

Pathways to customers, distribution relationships, channel partnerships, and joint initiatives.

5

Geographic Expansion

Regional relationships that can help companies evaluate and enter new markets with stronger local context.

6

Strategic + M&A

Connections with organizations evaluating acquisitions, strategic investments, or other long-term opportunities.

For founders

One relationship can create many paths forward.

Applying to LvlUp is not simply an application to a single fund. It can become an entry point into a broader strategic ecosystem—without requiring founders to navigate every organization independently.
